Hi! I'm Nathaniel, and I'm new to Couchsurfing. I just turned 33, and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I love my city (other than the cold winters!) I also love traveling, though it feels harder than ever to set aside money for travel these days. I'm a huge baseball fan, especially of the Phillies, and that dovetails great with one of my jobs as a stadium beer vendor. Working at Citizens Bank Park is a childhood dream of mine come true, though it is hard work! I'm also a huge music listener, mostly electronic-based music, though I also enjoy rock, rap, R&B, soul, and jazz-influenced music as well. In the summertime I play softball, and I use my longboard to get around town - I'm very much a summer person. Feeling the sun on my skin opens me up like a flower. I look forward to meeting you on my travels and learning about your life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a place to hang my head while I work Spring Training and be a pleasant guest

Interests

Baseball is my passion, and softball keeps me active. Longboarding has been my mode of getting around town when the weather is warm for over a decade. I'm a social butterfly and I don't mind a libation for fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music, from electronic to rock to rap and beyond. I listen to lots of producers: Diplo, Mild Minds, SWIM, Pretty Girl, Tourist...the list goes on. I also enjoy Wheatus, The Silversun Pickups, Incubus, ELO, and many more artists who don't just play mixers and sequencers! When it comes to movies, I love indie movies, thrillers, dramas, war movies, and foreign films. Lately I've been trying to catch up on older classics I've missed, and I've happened to watch a lot of French films. Some favorites are Ex Machina, Anomalisa, Brokeback Mountain, A Real Pain, and Bound.
